4C Wigs
When wigs have Afro-textured hair, they are known as Type 4. This is the most fragile hair texture that exists. When you have a 4C hair wig, it requires gentle treatment and small amounts of manipulation.
- Type 4A 4A wigs will have a strong curl definition and distinct coils. The look of a 4A wig can be fine and lightly spun out or wiry with a texture like fine, soft cotton threads — each hair strand. Even though the wave is soft and loose, the hair strand density in Type 4A wigs is thicker. This is still considered to be a kinky hair.
- Type 4B: 4b wig texture is similar to that of the Type 4A wig, but it has a straighter appearance and fewer curls defined in style. It’s also considered a more coil-like style rather than a curly one. The strands on a Type 4B hair wig are made with natural hair types in mind with a slight zig-zag being a defining feature.
- Type 4C: This is the hairstyle that is most often associated with Afro-kinky 4c weave. They have minimal curl definition and a finely spun appearance. These wigs can become tangled and have to be regularly maintained.
- Maintenance of afro kinky wigs requires a light hand. To keep the hair shafts in place and the volume consistent, you need to ensure that you use the best products to wash it and store it with care.
